    It's OK to make mistakes when learning Spanish. Noah's misunderstandings often lead to adventure.

Best Spanish teaching tool ever!
I thought it was great, my family is Spanish and my daughter visits with her grandmother that only speaks Spanish so she can relate to this show they don't understand each other, my daughter doesn't want to learn Spanish everytime I teach her she gets bored and annoyed, so when she saw this show she thought it was super funny, and she knew a lot of words even though she doesn't want to speak it. I think this show is great because it can help me out with her trying to learn in a fun way. way better then Dora! They actually use Spanish correctly in sentences and words correctly which I love! My daughter loves this show now! She laughs so hard and she's learning at the same time which is a bonus for me! Definetly recommend 10 stars!
